\n\nInternational Youth Day Special\n\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“We cannot always build the future for our\nyouth, but we can build our youth for the future” – Franklin D.\nRoosevelt.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Celebrated every year on 12th August,\nInternational Youth Day recognizes the efforts as well as the contribution of\nyouth to universal issues. Additionally, it also highlights various challenges\nfaced by the young population. In today’s age and time, the role of youth has\nbecome very crucial, especially in the social, cultural, and political spectrum.\nTheir active participation is of utmost importance when it comes to the\nbetterment of any society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This year’s International Youth Day’s\ntheme is “Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human”.\nThis subject matter aims to engage the power of youth into building up\nsustainable ways of making food available to everyone. With 67.27% of people\nfalling under the category of “Youth”, India harbors the biggest\nyoung population in the world. For the year 2021, India has been ranked 122nd\non Global Youth Development Index (GYDI). With 14% Indian population being\nundernourished, the need of the hour is to channelize this young force into sustainable\ndevelopment. Categorically, there is a big scope of youth participation in the\neradication of hunger in our country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do we, as young people of this country\nachieve it? Let’s have a look –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Active Volunteering in Programmes <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Youth of this country, must be encouraged to do volunteering for organizations that are operating to eradicate hunger. One such organization is Wishes and Blessings NGO. The organization had launched ‘WB Daily Meals Programme<\/a>‘, under which, hot and nutritious meals are provided 3 times, every day to the underprivileged and destitute people across 4 states in India. Their volunteering wing, Squad for Change<\/a> accepts volunteers for this cause amongst the others, throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each One, Feed One <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is not at all difficult to feed hungry people around one’s vicinity, all it needs is an open heart. India produces tons of domestic waste every day, and most of it is – food! As young people, it is our responsibility to eat within limits, and if in case excessive food is produced, it should be our moral duty to share it with someone who might sleep empty stomach otherwise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garden Farming <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As young people, it is our responsibility to think of ways in which the saddle of hunger gets lifted from our nation. One such method is by encouraging garden farming. If each household grows small vegetables or fruits like tomatoes, chilies, pomegranate, etc. in their available spaces, there will be a decline in demand for land for cultivating such food items, eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

These are few methods that anyone at an individual level can begin with, to make big changes in the future. All it needs is a will and a heart! Happy International Youth Day again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
